Music in Hospitals and Care has connected us with a broad spectrum of musicians playing genres including folk, bosa nova, classical and raga. Their musicians have delighted patients staff and visitors at the bedside, in our public spaces and our staff events.
They have contributed to our festivities for Estates and Facilities week, Play in Hospitals Week, Diwali and Christmas, as well as enabling us to bring music to patients and staff via Twilight Performances in our concourse.
Patient at CUHIt's just so beautiful. It's bringing back memories of my childhood - of what my Dad used to sing to me and what I would sing at school. This is so important, thank you.
